Yes it is on Fox but they have no late afternoon games scheduled so that day I believe they are planning on showing the NLCS late afternoon as the ALCS would be shown that night if it went the full 7 games. If the ALCS was over then the NLCS may get shifted to night.

That is also the Sunday that could be a very busy sports day in Cincinnati as the Bengals host the Steelers on Sunday Night Football that night as well.

Yep, good call on that. I will be at the Redskins-Giants game that day so hopefully we have either won the series already or the ALCS doesn't go 7

Man I hate how the Yankees get prime tv slots even in the playoffs.

Burn down the disco. Hang the blessed DJ. Because the music that he constantly plays, it says nothing to me about my life.

Re: Postseason scheduling

I didn't realize that the schedule sucks for me the next two days. Being on the west coast, I will be at work. Hopefully, my android phone will stream the audio well. I get spotty 3G connection at work.

Re: Postseason scheduling

The Thursday and Friday schedule has been released:

Thursday:

Giants at Reds Game 5 (if necessary) 1:07 ET TBS
Cards at Nationals Game 4 4:07 ET TBS (would shift an hour later if A's series is over before Thursday)
Orioles at Yankees Game 4 7:37 ET TBS (would shift an hour later if A's series is over before Thursday)
Tigers at A's Game 5 (if necessary) 9:37 ET TNT

Re: Postseason scheduling

Ugh seeing that time for a possible game 5 just makes me want to see us win tomorrow even more. They are really going to broadcast that game at 10 am Pacific, 1 pm eastern? What a way to give the middle finger to both fan bases. Deciding game 5 and no one will be able to watch. I'm beyond seething right now.

I agree 100%. Outside of yesterday's 5:30 start, these game times have been brutal. 9:30 start times? How do kids here watch the games? Great way to grow the future fan base! Idiots. I watched the last 5 innings of the first two games at 6:00 a.m. on dvr. And now they've scheduled game 5 at 1:00 with a West Coast team? Good thinking.

Re: Postseason scheduling

I'll never buy playoff tickets through the Reds and my 20 game pack again.

Not knowing when the games are until 48 hours before wreaks havoc. I have, like many, an inflexible work schedule. I bought tickets to all 3 games, and cannot attend any of them, since not a single game was played after work hours (ie- 7p start), or on a weekend.

I'll go the StubHub route next time, if the Reds ever again play a home playoff game that I can actually attend. Lesson learned.

Re: Postseason scheduling

Playing this decisive game at 1 pm is just sheer stupidity. Decisive games should be in prime time. At the very least it should have been switched with the Nationals game. I know why they are doing it but it still doesn't make it right. Just another reason why baseball turns off some people. I won't be able to see or even listen to much of this game live. I have things planned I have to got to at work today and I will be commuting home during the latter end of the game. I will get home about the time it is over.
